You may remember a few weeks ago I received a pair of Magnum Armadillo shoes to review*. Since then I’ve been wearing the shoes every shift, including some really stupidly long and busy ones that seem to last forever, even though I’m fully charged with tea and chocolate!

One thing I’ve learnt since wearing the shoes is that you can turn them into mules. Who would have thought? This delighted me probably more than it should have at 5am one gloomy morning last week. It’s a definite perk and will certainly be beneficial in the summer. I can confirm they are still very comfortable when functioning as a mule.

As some readers may know, in my spare time I’m a Paediatric Nurse! That’s right, when I’m not blogging, thinking about the blog, reading other people’s blogs or sleeping, I have to go to work. I’m hoping these new shoes, which have been sent to me by Magnum, will make my tiring 12 hour shifts a little easier.

Not only do they have a fun name, but The Armadillo’s are specifically designed for healthcare and catering employees, in fact anyone who is on their feet for large periods of time. They are non-slip, breathable and are resistant to needle stick penetration.

On first glance after unwrapping the shoes, they feel light but sturdy enough to keep my feet protected all day. The design is simple and suitable for the work environment and I look forward to testing them out over the next few weeks and letting you know how I get on. In the meantime you can find everything you need to know about the shoes here and feel free to have a little browse while you are there.
